Your content marketing strategy’s success depends largely on the keywords you target. If you’re targeting the wrong kinds of keywords, that is, you picked short-tail (1-2 words) and highly competitive keywords, then you’ll find it hard for your content to rank anywhere near the top of Google.
Most, if not all, websites who rank for short-tail keywords are big, established websites like Wikipedia. It would be extremely difficult to knock these sites off the top spots!
For best results, you want to target the low-hanging fruit or the long-tail keywords (more than 3-5 words) that not too many people are going after.
Why? Because with long-tail keywords you can easily ascertain people’s intent, so you can create the right content they’re looking for. This means that the people who will eventually read your content are those who are specifically looking for it.
For example, if someone typed a short-tail keyword like ‘bag’ on Google, you wouldn’t know exactly what that person is looking for. They could be looking for a definition of the word ‘bag,’ or they could be looking for different types of bags.
However, if someone typed a long-tail keyword like ‘how to make a handbag’ or ‘where to buy a red Adidas backpack,’ you’d know exactly what that person is looking for!
And what’s really awesome about targeting the right long-tail keywords, especially those with buyer intent, is that your conversion rates are going to be so much higher than if you were targeting just about any other keyword!
In addition to focusing on long-tail keywords, another keyword metric you should pay close attention to is the search volume for that keyword. You can use a free tool like Keywords Everywhere (https://bit.ly/3AYmgl0 ) to get search volume data.
